Correct answer

  • Así y en la suspensión.Yes, and in the suspension.
Explanation

Yes. Tyres are the vehicle's only contact with the ground, so the effectiveness of braking depends on their condition; also, because they are flexible and contain air, they absorb some of the bumps and work together with the suspension.
